Kayla Harrison admits her day-to-day schedule is incredibly demanding, but she wouldn’t change it for anything.
Not only is the two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka hunting for a championship in the UFC, but Harrison (17-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is also trying to do it as a mother of two adopted children, which makes her work-life balance extremely important.
“I have to keep the balance in check,” Harrison told MMA Junkie Radio. “First of all, I’m the sole breadwinner for our family, so me doing good is important in order to take care of my children, but I have to have a very good balance of being mom and being fighter. It’s hard the closer I get to a fight. … I’m more tired. I’m on more of a calorie deficit. I’m running more. I’m training more and I’m doing the sauna.
